In reply to Effexor withdrawal nightmares: REM-blocker drug?, posted by novelagent on March 30, 2012, at 4:41:36
Effexor has some very harsh withdrawals. There are many people picking pellets out of the capsules and counting down that way.
You may want to ask about adding some prozac in.. it has a long halflife and is commonly used to help with discontinuation issues on other meds.
Its pretty safe and well known, bet that suggestion would fly with your doc.
Its cheap as dirt too.. if you have no insurance its not bad.
Anoter option might be going to a TCA which are also SNRI-like drugs. old and cheap as well.
